Curated by Mari Carmen Ramirez and Hector Olea who organized this first large-scale overview of the avant-garde in Latin America during the twentieth century. Many Latin American works predated artistic works from Europe and the United States and challenged traditional notions of art and science. the catalogue and exhibition are organized into six conceptual areas or "constellations": Universal and Vernacular: Play and Grief; Progression and Rupture; Vibrational and Stationary; Touch and Gaze; Cryptic and Committed. Leon Ferrari contributed an illustrated essay "The Written Word." Hector Olea's illustrated essay on Leon Ferrari is titled "From the Drawing to Texts to the Texture of Poetry." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.

This book illustrates a collection of 255 music manuscripts whose selection by Cage was determined by circumstances. The text was the result of I-Ching chance operations which determined how many words were to be written by or about the 269 composers. Not only the number of words and the author, but the typography too - letter size, intensity and typeface - were all determined by chance operations. Alison Knowles served as co-editor and also designed the book. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
